    I have never had a bad meal at any first watch location. We came here at peak time...church let out on a Sunday (which we didn't realize because we weren't coming from church) and it was insanely busy. I think we waited 25-30 mins. Once we got in food came out quick and was hot. I will return, but off peak. It's one of the larger locations I've been to, so it was packed.

    I've lost count how many times, I've been here that's how amazing their breakfast are. Always fresh, huge portions, delicious food. One of my favorite breakfast, brunch spot. Below is a few of my favorites items.

    This is our first time in Nashville, and we've been enjoying fantastic breakfasts throughout our stay. Following a local recommendation, we decided to try an early breakfast at this charming establishment. Its vintage decor exudes a delightful Southern atmosphere. The diverse food menu offers a range of interesting and healthy options. We were impressed by the quality of the food and the excellent service. We all left very satisfied and highly recommend this place.

    Blueberry and banana granola pancakes. Grits and million dollar bacon.

    If Panera Bread were a legit breakfast spot, it would be this place. LOL! A real chill place with good service. I had two big different pancakes. One blueberry and one banana granola. Delicious. Great decision. The million dollar bacon was a mixture of sweet and savory. The grits were...ok. Overall a good meal with reasonable pricing. I would recommend.

    The traditional breakfast was very good!

    This is a nice breakfast spot that's located in a great part of town. I came here a bit ago with some friends and it was exactly what I hoped it would be: great food cooked fast. I typically try a simple breakfast when I'm trying out a new place (to make sure they can make the basics well) and First Watch lived up to my expectations. My eggs, bacons, home fries, and toast were cooked well and were very tasty. The service was good as well and I will definitely be back.

    I was several times for breakfast or lunch at this location, but also other locations. There is always a friendly service. It's not a "wow", but more nice people who make you feel welcome. Another important thing is a value, specifically lunch special "2 for you for $8.99. Half Roast Beef sandwich and half green avocado salad is great choice.

    Update: We went for brunch with the entire family. Nice outdoor seating even with two kids and service was great. Coffee (hot and iced) and OJ are so good here. The waitress was very attentive and pleasant. She accidentally brought the wrong order for my husband (veggie sandwich instead of a veggie burger) but when we pointed it out she was apologetic and immediately fixed the error and brought the correct food out quickly. Of course we were not charged for the incorrect order and took it home for later (and even it was so good!) We really love this place!

    I love this spot for a good brunch. The wait on a weekend is long but so worth it! The servers are so accommodating and friendly and make the whole experience so nice. I ordered the biscuits with sausage gravy for the first time ever and was so pleasantly surprised. It was so so delicious! My husband loves the Floridian French toast which is also so good - not overly sweet and a great cinnamon flavor. You can't have brunch without mimosas! 1 drink was enough to share and it was so good and crisp. So happy with this restaurant - it's our new weekend brunch spot.

Their specialty lattes are solid; I often get the Eiffel Tower or Dulce de Leche. The Best Chocolate Bar Ever latte is a sweet chocolate caffeine fix as well. The Perch is a smaller spot with both indoor and outdoor seating, first come first served; guests order and pay at the counter, then are given a number, and food/drinks are brought to your table. Prices are not cheap, but the food and drinks are reasonable and reliable. This spot is a gem, and you never know who you'll see here. Also, I love that they do punch cards (buy 10 coffees and get 1 free, if I'm not mistaken) - even though I usually forget to bring my existing card and keep starting a new one.

They do have more than crepes; they offer really good breakfast burritos that I'd definitely recommend as well. If you're ever in the area, I'd say it's well worth the stop.

I used to live in NYC and have been to the top rated coffee shops in at least LA, Dallas, Boston, Charlotte, NYC obviously, and Crema is better. I've now been to both locations.

My pet peeve is when places have a flavored drink and it doesn't taste like anything different than a normal coffee. Crema always has some unique flavors and they hit you right in the mouth with what they're supposed to taste like. The cherry on top is that it's actually a good value too. The prices are very competitive compared to similar craft coffee spots in the Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin corridor.

The addition of spinach and goat cheese crumble added a tangy note to each bite. The slice of sourdough bread was delicious, but I wish it had been a little more toasted so that it could withstand the heavier Shakshuka. For my entree, I ordered the Crème Brûlé(e) French Toast. It was delicious and very indulgent. The brioche was soft and custardy, soaked in crème anglaise and elevated by a torched sugar top that gave it a slight crunch. Fresh strawberries cut through the sweetness nicely. I swapped the side of bacon or sausage for scrambled eggs. They were a little dry but still tasty. The atmosphere was refined but laid back, and the service was overall great. I would definitely come back to explore more of the menu.

This Brentwood one is easy to access with it being right on old hickory blvd. The decor on the inside is very farmhouse rustic and fits the brunch vibe.

We ordered the chimichurri steak hash off of the winter/spring menu and an order of the lemon ricotta pancakes from the standard menu. Both dishes were a hit.

I find the quality of food at First Watches to be generally consistent: I have favorites I get almost every time that I know will satisfy me but they have a large menu with truly something for everyone, even my picky and dietary-restriction laden parents! This location can get a little busy around prime brunch time late morning on a Saturday or Sunday, but generally I'm able to walk in solo or with my parents and get a table immediately. Service is very good and attentive, friendly, but I have an inconsistent experience with the saltiness of food at the one. Occasionally, items like the potatoes or garlic bread are extremely salty, to the point of being difficult to consume. Generally speaking my favorite order is the trifecta with a Belgian waffle, crispy, potatoes, and the millionaire bacon (for a slight upcharge). The coffee is strong and always really delicious. My parents recently really loved the chicken pesto power bowl - extremely flavorful but very good. I've also really liked the turkey wrap and whatever their latest cornbread special is, in the past. Parking is pretty easy because this location is attached to a shopping complex and I'm generally always able to find something nearby. This will continue to be a staple in my Brentwood breakfast out rotation.
